Vaccination Information for Dentists

Protect Yourself and Office Staff

Exposure of unvaccinated health care staff to contagious diseases can spread illness and can be costly for your dental practice. Dentists and their staff have high risk of exposure and are at especially high risk for pertussis, influenza and hepatitis B, experts say. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that all health care workers receive the tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (Tdap) vaccine.*
